Paul Pierce’s finances are now public record. The NBA legend filed court documents laying out his income as he fights his ex. Princess Santiago’s request for $29,811 a month in child support for their son King, born in February 2026. Pierce is pushing back hard, arguing he should pay closer to $4,145 monthly.
The docs reveal Pierce made an average of $128,000 per month in 2025 and $165,000 per month in the first half of 2026. His income sources include $1.5 million from Fox in 2025, plus $713,000 for a show on the network before it was canceled mid-year. He also earned $350,000 in commissions in 2025, $386,000 in 2026, $92,000 from DraftKings royalties, $281,000 from his YouTube show “No Fouls Given,” and smaller amounts from Fanatics and NBA properties.
Pierce argues his financial situation is about to get worse. His Fox residuals end in September, cutting his income by nearly half. He already pays $20,000 per month in spousal support and $24,000 per month in child support for four other children. He’s asking for joint custody of King, while Santiago wants sole custody. The hearing is ongoing in a California court.
